Also, most people use way too much toothpaste. You only need a pea size amount for brushing.

My mother uses baking soda to brush her teeth because mint makes her vomit. She refers to it as an "allergy" but acknowledges that it isn't really an allergy, but people understand that term and it's easier than anything else. She puts it down to the time she was 12 and had the flu and her grandmother forced pepto bismol on her and then she puked and now her brain is eternally stuck on "this is how poison tastes." Licorice hits her the same way. We always used regular toothpaste but it's always been "don't kiss your mom good night after you brush your teeth."

There are very few options for people who don't want mint toothpaste. Occasionally my mom finds a cinnamon one or something without mint in it and then it gets discontinued.

I'm probably not as good at brushing my teeth as I should be.

I hate mint too, and started buying this stuff

https://www.amazon.com/Apagard-Premio-toothpaste-nanohydroxyapatite-remineralizing/dp/B0016GCZSC?th=1

Now, right now it's an insane price, but get it from another seller for cheaper. Price fluctuates a TON. Doesn't taste like mint, or as a lot of reviewers call it, "US flavored."


(I wonder if that's like how Cool Ranch in other countries is often called "Cool American," because ranch isn't as big of a thing.)

Weirdly I don't like the taste of that, and when I buy that toothpaste it's normally like $4-8/tube, which isn't unreasonable to pay for a taste I like that has zero mint at all.

Just end up throwing it into whatever amazon order at the time when I notice the price is low. It's always there in my "re-order" list on the sidebar.

Baking soda damages your enamel. At least that's what my dentist told me back in the day when I asked him about it.

They're wondering why it makes a difference if you have mint breath or not if you aren't kissing your mother on the lips. I guess if the mint breath was strong enough they'd smell it even if you kissed their cheek?

When I was a child and my parents kissed me good night, it was on the cheek or forehead. You’re not getting mint taste in someone’s mouth this way. The poster stated that their mom couldn’t take the taste of brushing with mint in her mouth, yet couldn’t kiss mom goodnight.

So, if your parents are kissing you goodnight as a normal parent would (ie not on the lips) and not opening their mouth so that any mint taste would cross between, why should they not have to kiss mom goodnight?

I don't like mint either but I just use it cause it's a few minutes a day and I just figure the tingle I get from the mint is it working. Like when you get the burn from rubbing alcohol on a cut.

It was this. She's sensitive to the smell. Mint is a strong smell. I thought that was self evident, but here I am, expecting too much of goons.

Once I got into a small car with my mom shortly after brushing my teeth and she puked because of it.

Talk Talk's first album (The Party's Over) is excellent, and I might actually like it the most of all their pre-Spirit of Eden albums. Nobody ever talks about it, and with Talk Talk's whole story being their gradual transformation from another synthpop group to awesome experimental post-rock, why wouldn't their first album be their worst?

Dolphins? That’s weird, cuz in my neck of the woods it commonly refers to tech for sharks. There’s also a lot of folks that use it exclusively to mean tech for jets. They get into epic knife dance battles sometimes to resolve the issue to no avail.

I gotta side with the sharks on this one, just because it's so difficult to get the tech onto the sharks. They have to build special gear just to get the tech to attach properly, because otherwise the sharks are so smooth that it just slides right off.

Sometimes, you get a thing about a smell. I couldn't even smell lemonade without puking for a few years because I had drank lemonade before getting a stomach infection. My dad still can't eat macaroons because he ate them when he had a stomach bug, even 60 years later. Just the smell makes him gag.
